Excellent game
A really really good game and a great production. Only drawback is a poor tutorial but for those who are in to good strategic board games and willing to invest the time into learning the game you will be definitely rewarded.

Online play broken
There's a lot to like about this app - the implementation of the game itself is clean and the graphics are great. But the single-player AI is atrociously bad and online play is still broken. Games hang or get suddenly cancelled without warning, and all game notifications are still sent out in Polish. It needs a bit more work.Show lessDv97578
Shows promise but not ready
The game shows promise but needs alot of polish.
The solo game is good but has weak AI. The justification used was a focus on multiplayer which is unfortunately very flawed and unplayable.
You cant invite friends and are limited to public invites only. The game gets stuck in multiplayer to where turns cant be played. You cant tell when it is your turn. You also cant tell who is who in gameShow lessDenis_bda
Very good implementation
As far as iOS boardgames go, this is a very good implementation. The iOS version provides the user all the necessary information to make informed decisions in a concise, but accessible, fashion. But be aware… Brass is a fairly heavy economic game with oddities that need to be remember and can distract away from the gameplay. For this reason, it isn’t exactly easy to learn the game from the iOS version. For instance, many of the building counters develop in different ways (income, time period they can be built, etc). In the boardgame, players simply flip these over when they need to make an informed decision. In the iOS version, the information is bit fragmented… which can make the decision planning more difficult. Thus, i highly suggest new players to print off one of the many player-aids, available on BGG, that list the odd rules (Birkenhead “virtual” port, how iron/coal move differently etc) and contain a list of the buildings. Otherwise, I fear many players will feel loss.Show lessEuroGMR
Supporting board game conversions but...
This is an amazing board game. If you like economic strategy games, very few beat designs by Martin Wallace and this is one of his best.
This conversion has a lot going for it. The interface and visuals are well presented and very rarely let you do anything you need to take back.
Here's the downers:
AI is absolutely dreadful. They focus completely on Cotton Mills and put themselves into a corner. I've played games where most of the opponents are passing for both turns in several rounds!!
You can't see how opponents have developed their stacks. This is critical when trying to anticipate moves especially regarding the shipyard.
Minor gripe but end game is very abrupt and doesn't entertain you with animating through final scoring like it does at end of era 1.
ultimately I hope this gets some more dev timeShow lessAppnewb
Fantastic board game implementation
I don't know the board game well, but it's a brilliant implementation. Support portrait and landscape mode on both iPhone and iPad. Seems very well optimised.
I'd like to see more than one level of AI though.zzzgsbcvbfsfghesfg
Great game
Faithful implementation. Works well landscape and portrait. AI needs more work.Son of Zorf
